The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Sima Hui was compared to a water mirror by Pang Degong, which has its own extraordinary.

According to Wei Shi's observation, in terms of recognizing and employing people, Sima Hui's talent is indeed much stronger than Lou Gui.

Of course, this is not to say that Lou Gui has nothing to do.

Historically, Lou Gui was too rich because he was good at managing money and his family was too rich, so he was nicknamed "Lou Dafu" by Cao Cao.

Not long after this rich man became a wealthy man, Cao Cao found a trumped-up excuse to kill Lou Gui, who had no eyes and didn't know how to offer to his old Cao.

"Lou Shi, this is Yingchuan Sima Hui, the word Decao, has been praised by Pang Degong as a water mirror, from now on, Decao will sit in the Taishou Mansion to engage in it, help Shi Yan recruit talents, and preside over the promotion of officials in the county."

"In terms of wealth and civil affairs, Master Lou has to worry a lot, and I believe that with Master Lou's ability, the people of the three counties can live a worry-free life."

Employing people should use their strengths.

The reuse of Sima Hui does not mean that Lou Gui should be snubbed.

Wei Shi called Sima Hui and Lou Gui to him, and after introducing them, he clarified their respective responsibilities.

What surprised him was that Sima Hui and Lou Gui had known each other for a long time, and as soon as the two met, they started talking, which made Wei Shi bored beside him.

Think about it, Sima Hui is from Yingchuan, Lou Gui is from Nanyang, the two places are adjacent, and they are both famous people, and it is normal to know and communicate.

Lou Gui was extremely enthusiastic about Sima Hui's arrival.

"If it weren't for Wei Papi'......"

After Wei Shi became the Taishou of Fangling, most of the affairs in the county pressed on him, which made the young Lou Gui really unbearable, and now that Sima Hui came to share the pressure, it was too late for Lou Gui to be happy.

After Sima Hui joined the staff team, Wei Shi's tense nerves were finally relaxed.

Soon, Sima Hui used his network in Jingzhou to recommend several friends to Wei Shi, such as Shi Tao, Cui Zhouping, and Meng Jian.

These people have not yet come out, and they can be regarded as reclusive talents in Jingzhou.

Just twenty days later, Shi Tao and Meng Jian suddenly came to Shangyong, which surprised Wei Shi.

According to Shi and Meng, they came to see it when they heard the news that Sima Hui was here in Wei Shi.

This has two meanings.

First, if Wei Shi didn't have any ability, then they would just come to see their old friend Sima Hui and leave after reading it.

Second, if Wei Shi is indeed a virtuous talent valued by the emperor, then they will be cheeky to stay in Shangyong and not leave, anyway, there is Sima Hui, who happens to be in one place, and there is a place to settle on weekdays.

Wei Shi naturally welcomed the arrival of Shi Tao and Meng Jian.

These two people, together with Xu Shu and Cui Jun, are known as the four friends of Zhuge , and now there are two of them at once, which is also a happy event.

Meng Jian, whose name is Gongwei, later became an official in Cao Wei, and his official position was promoted to Liangzhou Assassin History, and when he visited General Zhengdong, Zhuge Liang also wrote a letter to Meng Jian, probably because he wanted to contact his feelings and see if he could lobby him.

Shi Tao, whose name is Guangyuan, is also from Cao Wei, the county guard, and the captain of the agricultural school, although the official is not as big as Meng Jian, but it can be regarded as an important member.

Judging from the experiences of Shi and Meng, in their bones, they still want to be officials, and they are also capable of being officials.

Therefore, what they said to Liu Bei, what people in the mountains and wilderness don't like to be officials, are all lies, the real reason is that these people have not been able to take a fancy to Liu Bei.

Shi Tao and Meng Jian's coming, for Wei Shi, who is short of people around him, is a charcoal in the snow.

At the suggestion of Sima Hui, Shi Tao was appointed as Zhonglang, responsible for the affairs of Diannong near Shangyong City, and Meng Jian was given an important task by Wei Shi as the magistrate of Neixiang County, stationed in Junshan to stand alone.

Neixiang County is Xinye County to the west and Luyang County to the north.

One is close to Liu Bei and the other is close to Cao Cao, these two are not easy to mess with, Wei Shi doesn't want the Junshan Fort he worked so hard to create, and it will be robbed like Elm Bay.

With the help of Sima Hui and others, Wei Shi developed obscenely in the three eastern counties, and although his small life was tight, it could also be described as thriving.

If you want to say that there is a fly in the ointment, that is, the territory is too small, sandwiched between Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, and Cao Cao, and there is almost no room for maneuver.

"Fu Jun, there is one thing in Hui, we must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, it may lead to disaster?"

On this day, just as Wei Shi was thinking about the next development, Sima Hui came to Wei Shi's study with a solemn face and solemnly admonished.

"What Mr. said, but should Fangling and Shangyong belong to Yizhou, or to Jingzhou?" Wei Shi frowned and asked.

During this time, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang quarreled endlessly over the ownership of the three eastern counties, and the lawsuit even reached Liu Xie, the emperor of Xudu.

Sima Hui nodded and said, "It is this matter that the prince wants to wait and see left and right and get some benefits." However, time is running out, in case we really anger Liu Jingzhou, wait for Jingzhou to cut off our road, and then raise troops to attack, then Changsha is too guarded by Zhang Xian's lesson, but it is ..... in front of us. ”

Wei Shi nodded, grateful for Sima Hui's reminder.

Compared with big guys like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Quan, Liu Biao is indeed known as the dog of the household, but it also depends on who the opponent is?

During the battle of Guandu, Zhang Xian gathered the strength of the four counties of Jingnan to resist Liu Biao, but was attacked by the Jingzhou army, and the two sides fought for several years, Zhang Xian finally died of illness, and his son and daughter became prisoners.

Last time, Huang Zhong's concubine Zhang was Zhang Xian's daughter.

If Wei Shi is also defeated, then the ending of Han Yan and Wei Xiao'e may not be as lucky as Xiao Zhang's.

Wei Shi thought for a while and said: "Mr. is good, the belonging of the three eastern counties, in fact, Shi has already made a decision, Your Majesty, Shi also has a table, which explains the truth." ”

"In fact, the location of the three eastern counties is closer to Jingzhou, and there is Zhang Lu to cut off the traffic, and it is also a good thing to assign it to Jingzhou."

"It's just that Liu Jingzhou's conditions are really unsatisfactory, so let's let the wind go, sir, and say that I intend to go to Xiangyang and meet Liu Jingzhou in person..."

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Liu Biao still occupying Jingzhou, going to Xiangyang is what Wei Shi wants to do most at the moment.

In recent years, the north has been turbulent and wars have been frequent, and a large number of northern scholars have taken refuge in the south, including Sima Hui, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others.

Wei Shi is now short of people at hand, if he keeps staying in Shangyong, even if Sima Hui recruits, he won't be able to recruit a few people, like Shi Tao and Meng Jian, who took the initiative to come, after all, they are a minority.

Therefore, the best way to recruit people is to go to Xiangyang.

The reason why Liu Bei was able to get the support of many Jingzhou scholars later was that he had been in Xiangyang for a long time, and gradually won the hearts of the people by relying on his familiar face and repeated interactions.

Wei Shi felt that in terms of interpersonal communication, he really had to learn from Liu Bei.
